To: The Honorable Mayor and Board of Commissioners From: Michael Jaycocks Subject: Signage & Sponsorship Policy
The Huntersville Parks and Recreation Committee has recommended changes to the Signage and Sponsorship Policy for Town's Parks and Facilities. One of those changes is related to allowing establishments that are licensed primarily to sell alcoholic or malt beverages to promote their company thru sponsoring events and festivals. The reason for this change is related to the town's new policy of allowing alcohol at certain town events. The policy would still prohibit these establishments from having permanent signage within parks. The second change is to add e-cigs to the list of products not allowed to advertise thru sponsorship or signage with the Town. The reason for this is that these products are not allowed in town parks due to the Tobacco/Smoke Free Ordinance that Mecklenburg County passed in 2015. The Parks and Recreation Committee approved these changes at their March 15th meeting by a 7-0 vote.
